How to receive notification for partial submissions?
Updated 3 weeks ago
One of the powerful features of Youform is partial submissions. Whenever your users leave your form without completing it, you still get all the data that they have entered.
Although Youform has integrations for Slack, Google Sheets, Zapier, email, etc., but only the completed submissions are sent there. How do you get the notification for partial submissions? The answer is using Zapier.
Follow these steps to get modifications for your partial submissions, or check out the YouTube video below:
Create a zap
Search for webhook
Select Retrieve Poll
Put URL, key " data.data "
Set Authorization header and then write Bearer
Then go to Youform account settings and get the API key
Set your key then click on fetch new records
Add filter block
Select updated_at date/time before and add {{zap_meta_human_now}}-1 in value
Check for passing data and failing data (i.e which submissions will pass the filter).
Add slack, select channel and then add data in message (select block id from the builder)
Test your Zap and publish
You can use this Zap template.
You can use this URL in Zapier:
https://app.youform.com/api/forms/ {form_id}/submissions?is_complete=0&sort_by=created_at&sort_by_order=desc
Remember to change the {form_id} above with your Youform id as shown in the video.
P.S in this video we are doing certain things which you can change according to your needs. For example, we are only sending a notification when a submission is more than 24 hours old. You can change this value. We are also sending a notification to Slack; you can change it to email or whatever app you wanted to send to.
